657th place to be exact. May not sound like a big deal but its taken us a few months now to get that far (we started in 3000+ or something lol), and there are tens of thousands of Folders. We won’t be going much farther though without some more members though >_<. So, here's a little list of "why not fold?".
1. Runs in the background and takes up less than 2 MB of RAM at any time.
2. Will only do it’s work when the CPU has spare mhz, such as when your computer is idle.
3. Only needs about 200-300kb of bandwidth total per project (which takes my 1.5 ghz machine 17 hours to do).
4. Download it, install it and forget it =)
5. Last, it’s a charitable act. In a nutshell, the program simulates a protein “folding”, which is does before it carries out it’s purpose in the body. However folding is so complicated that each project only simulates a few nanoseconds of the fold process. So the more computers simulating, the quicker the lab can understand why proteins misfold which causes a hand full of fatal diseases.
